The federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requires stringent testing on any medical devices and implants prior to allowing their applications in the general U.S. market. When a medical device is tested and approved for market, it is supposed to act as a safeguard against defective design and dangerous side effects that can cause serious injury or death to the patient. When a defective or dangerous design makes it through FDA approval, but is later discovered to cause unforeseen side effects in some patients, it does not absolve the manufacturer from liability for financial damages caused to the injury victim.
FDA approval of a medical device or pharmaceutical product does mean the manufacturer does not face liability for damages in the event the product fails and causes injury or death.
